Use resources such as microbiology text books, encyclopedias, HCC Library databases (e.g. Pro Quest Biology, Pro Quest Nursing) journals and online medical sites to research these questions. Indicate the source of information you found in ACS or MLA format. Do not forget to include in-text citations every time you borrow someone’s idea, even if you paraphrased it. Be sure to include the publication date. Comment on the reliability of the source (why you think this source is reliable) under each reference. (8 points) All references must be cited, and direct quotes from the references must be indicated as such, using quotation marks. However, in science writing, direct quotes are seldom used.

This case shows a daily working life of Rachel, the project manager of large information systems project; the case mainly discussed the way a project manager allocates her time to spent one day in her life.

The carter cleaning company: The job description
1. What should be the format and final form of the store manager’s job description?
Answer: The format noted in figure 4-6 could be a reasonable format to use. Students may recommend
that Jen should include a “standards of performance” section in the job description. This lists the
standards the employee is expected to achieve under each of the job description’s main duties and
responsibilities, and would address the problem of employees not understanding company policies,
procedures, and expectations. In addition, students may recommend that Jennifer instead take a
competency-based approach which describes the job in terms of the measurable, observable, behavioral
competencies that an employee doing that job must exhibit. Because competency analysis focuses more
on “how” the worker meets the job’s objectives or actually accomplishes the work, it is more worker
focused.
2. Was it practical to specify standards and procedures in the body of the job description, or
should these be kept separately?
Answer: They do not need to be kept separately, and in fact both Jen and the employees would be
better served by incorporating standards and procedures into the body of the description. The exception
to this would be if the standards and procedures are so complex or involved that it...

Systematically gathering enough information
about a particular person, social setting, event,
or group to permit the researcher to effectively
understand how it operates or functions.
Casestudies may focus on an individual, a
group, or an entire community and may utilize
a number of data technologies such as life
stories, documents, oral histories, in-depth
interviews, and participant observation.
Types of casestudies
Stake (1995) suggests that researchers
have different purposes for studying
cases. He suggests that casestudies
can be classified into three different
types: intrinsic, instrumental, and
collective
Intrinsic casestudies


Intrinsic casestudies are undertaken when
researcher wants to better understand a
particular case.
It is not undertaken primarily because it
represents other cases or because it
illustrates some particular trait,
characteristic, or problem. Rather, it is
because of its uniqueness or ordinariness
that a case becomes interesting.
Instrumental casestudies
Instrumental casestudies provide
insights into an issue or refine a
theoretical explanation.
